If there’s ever a designer Christmas creation you must build, this one is it. We’ve re-released the instructions to our infamous Makedo Cardboard Christmas Tree - but this time around, we’re also making a mini table-top version!

Put away your chainsaw and replace it with a Makedo Safe-saw. Save a tree and find some old cardboard to turn into a Cardboard Christmas Tree.

Step 2: Fold

Start by folding along the scored lines on each of your triangle pieces. For a tree with a natural cardboard look - fold the printed side inwards. Or for a patterned tree - fold the natural cardboard side inwards.

Step 3: Connect

There are three pyramids to this tree. To build a pyramid grab four of the same sized triangles. Overlap the edge flap of one small triangle with another to build a four-sided pyramid.

Connect the overlapping sides together using Makedo Re-clips.

Step 4: Connect underneath and repeat

To complete the pyramid, fold the bottom flaps inwards to create a base. Connect the flaps together using Makedo Re-clips at each corner where the flaps overlap. You have now assembled your first pyramid!

Next create your other two pyramids following the same process. In the end, you should have one large pyramid and two smaller ones.

Step 5: Assemble to Complete

Stack your pyramids on top of one another. Start with a small pyramid as the base, the large pyramid in the middle and top it off with the remaining small pyramid. Your mini Christmas Tree is complete. Now it is time to decorate!
